the day before you came

• bir nevi 'vuslata bir kala' guncesi.. sayet bir abba sarkisi baki kalacaksa bu olsun, derim.. hatta sozlerini de nakletmek isterim.. isteyen jacques, blancmange, tanita tikaram yorumlarini da ziyaret edebilir..
  
  must have left my house at eight, because i always do
  my train, i'm certain, left the station just when it was due
  i must have read the morning paper going into town
  and having gotten through the editorial, no doubt i must have frowned
  i must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
  with letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
  i must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so
  the usual place, the usual bunch
  and still on top of this i'm pretty sure it must have rained
  the day before you came
  
  i must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
  and at the time i never even noticed i was blue
  i must have kept on dragging through the business of the day
  without really knowing anything, i hid a part of me away
  at five i must have left, there's no exception to the rule
  a matter of routine, i've done it ever since i finished school
  the train back home again
  undoubtedly i must have read the evening paper then
  oh yes, i'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame
  the day before you came
  
  must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
  and stopped along the way to buy some chinese food to go
  i'm sure i had my dinner watching something on tv
  there's not, i think, a single episode of dallas that i didn't see
  i must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
  i need a lot of sleep, and so i like to be in bed by then
  i must have read a while
  the latest one by marilyn french or something in that style
  it's funny, but i had no sense of living without aim
  the day before you came
  
  and turning out the light
  i must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another night
  and rattling on the roof i must have heard the sound of rain
  the day before you came
• abba'nin gunesli muziginden biraz uzak ve bu yuzden de muhtemelen en vurucu sarkilari. yalnizlik hissini en iyi veren pop sarkilarindan. kuzey ulkeleriyle ozdeslestirilen o sikici, rutin hayati da ne guzel ifade ediyor, gerek lirikler, gerekse basit ama guzel muzigiyle.
  dinlerken goruntuler canlaniyor kafada, bu acidan 'sinematik' sifatini da hakediyor sanirim.
• abba'nin the visitors albumunun cd versiyonundaki bonus track'lerden biridir.
• (bkz: days before you came)
• nefis abba sarkisi..dogru zamanda dinlemek gerekir.
• film tadında bir parçadır ayrıca.
• duygu dozu delikanlı adamı gay yapabilecek kadar yüksek olan, tehlikeli bir şarkı.
• senden once ot gibi tekduze yasiyordum demenin abbacasi. ingilizce hazirlikta “a typical day of your life” kompozisyon kalibi vardir, bu parca ona mukemmel bir ornek olusturmus.
  
  bir zaman sonra gelen duzeltme: senden once tekduze yasiyor idiysem de huzurluydum demenin abbacasi.
• parcanin jacques versiyonunda [orjinalinden farkli olarak] dallas yerine psycho izlenmekte, marilyn french yerine de ted hughes okunmaktadir.
